Caciotta Dei Boschi is an elegant table cheese made from scarce Roman sheep's milk and rare black truffle shavings. It is made by the highly regarded Lopez Company, a family owned and operated business that has been making cheese in the Roman countryside for several generations. Caciotta is a name used all over Central Italy that denotes a farmhouse sheep's milk cheese. This caciotta is quite tangy and sharp, as all chevres are, and highly aromatic with a distinctive, lingering aftertaste, thanks to the truffles. Caciotta Dei Boschi also contains bits of Porcini mushrooms, which serve to further augment the earthy character of this Italian masterpiece.

This cheese is a pretty mild flavored cheese, with the subtly and earthiness given by the truffles and porcinis. While not my favorite cheese, it's definitely worth a taste if you enjoy a delicate flavor.

I liked Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto much better

Typical semi hard sheep's milk cheese with mild acidity, slight aroma of black truffle. I liked Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto much much better.
I tried many Truffle + Sheep and / or cow milk cheese and this is least my favorite. My friends and I were sampling 5 other cheeses I ordered from igourmet and no one wanted to eat this one since we had 4 other great choices. May be it was old since it had pink edges... I think I am going to eat it...

Cacciotta dei Boschi

The truffles give this cheese a very unusual flavor that I found absolutely delicious. It holds its form well. We ate it accompanied by a white wine. I think a red would overpower the truffles.

delightful cheese

a delightful cheese that goes well with rosemary roasted proscuitto and pinot grigio. that is they way i had it the first time in vegas. so glad igourmet has it, because it is something i would probably never find in virginia beach.might try it with watermelon next. i saw in wine spectator cheese paired with watermelon.

Give this one a try, you won't be sorry.

I was hooked immediately. Skipped my previous known favorite cheeses to keep tasting this one. It will be added to the list of party cheeses because it has a taste everyone enjoyed.

ONE OF THE BEST TASTING CHEESES EVER

THIS CHEESE IS SO VERY TASTY WITH THE TRUFFLES IN WITH IT. VERY COMPLEX FLAVOR OF CHEESE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Fantastic!

This is one of my favorites. I use it on just about all of my italian dishese in place of parmesan. The flavor is strong, but mouthwatering. At cheese parties, I shave it into a small bowl so that people can pop a sliver into their mouth and let the flavors melt over their tongue. A little goes a long way.

delicious one of the best cheeses avai

A very different cheese with a very excellent flavor of the truffle. a cheese that one can hardly quit eating after e first bite. the thing that is not so great about this cheese is there is never enough.
